6. In , chord is perpendicular to diameter at point , chord bisects and intersects at point , chord intersects at point . Then the value of is:
Pick one
Solution
6. B.
As shown in Figure 2, connect .
By the perpendicular diameter theorem, we have
Thus, .
Since , we get
Therefore, .
Hence, are concyclic.
Thus, .
Consequently, .
In , since , we have .
By the midline theorem of a triangle, we get
